Big news - our revised Community Standards are finally online. Please access them on the footer of the page, towards the right-hand edge.....
The main point of differentiation between NYYFans and most other sports forums is the sense of community that has been fostered here, since our site was founded many years ago. In order to maintain this atmosphere, we must hold posters to certain basic expectations when participating here.....
To this end, we will be conducting a soft relaunch of...

Effective immediately, the NYYFans forum is using a new URL: www.nyyfansforum.com - you will need to log in with your user credentials. Please update your bookmarks now.
The old URL, forums.nyyfans.com will redirect to the new domain name for a temporary period of time while everyone makes the transition.
Please let me know if you have any questions or...

Please show some courtesy to your fellow fans and use descriptive thread titles in this sub-forum and in all other areas of this forum so everyone knows exactly what's being discussed in a particular thread.
A thread titled "Joe Torre" for example could be about anything - please specify exactly what you want to discuss in the thread you're starting such as "Will Joe Torre Ever Come Back to the Yankees?". Not everyone has a lot of time on the forum to go in and out of every single thread so...

The summer made glorious by the sons of (New) York comes to an end. So now begins the winter of our discontent. What should we do?
Sign JD Martinez
Buy out Tanaka's opt out
Sign Otani
Replace Romine
call it a day.

It's on. He's being posted this offseason.
The quickest way to go from a middle of the pack team to a contender would be by signing an ace-caliber pitcher for under $3M. Almost unfair to the teams that miss out on him.

This is the Judge /Hicks scenario last year. Judge showed his hitting was special and Cashman recognized it.
Andujar albeit in a small sample size was like 4 for 7 in the Majors last year and the ball screams off his bat.
This kid is the real deal. Andujar is coming up with the team and Drury possibly rotate between 2nd and 3rd and/or be a late inning utility replacement .

This is what I worry about the most.
Severino, Tanaka, & Gray can be stoppers on any given day. Each one can also get lit up on any given day. Especially against the formidable lineups they'll probably be facing in the post season. I'd love it if they were limited to about 160 IP during the regular season, so they'll each be pretty strong in October. At about 6IP per start, that's about 27 starts each, or half the season (81 starts).
That means the back half of the rotation needs to...

Although I think the whole pace of play issue is a bit overblown, I read through what was announced today and don't have a major issue. Glad they didn't include the pitch clock, which I hate, and think the mound visit issue is fairly defined. Interested to see viewpoints on this...

I know he's currently in spring training with the Rangers on an invite, but what about Bartolo coming here on a cheap one-year deal if things don't work out with Texas? He'd be affordable, could eat some innings if the injuries come, and could even be a long guy out of the bullpen...all while keeping us under the spending limit for this year.
